The reason behind my last emails
|
It’s simple. ​ I’ve shown you how smart people can make stupid mistakes. How costly they are. How amazingly common they are. ​ The wrong team, the wrong assumptions, the wrong risks transferred. Simple. Foreseeable. Evitable. ​ But… ​ You see them over, and over again. ​ You and I as taxpayers pay the price. ​ And if you work in infrastructure… and you are in these “saraos” (projects), you can pay an even higher price. ​ Endless nights without sleeping, hours and hours wasted in never-ending meetings, irrespirable ambiance at work, having to go to the toilet with a lawyer next to you, demotions, bye, bye bonuses, and much more. ​ Not worthy to be there. Not worthy to make those evitable mistakes. ​ So, next week I’m doubling the price of my reflections about my last project, Puhoi to Warkworth highway, that you have below. There is too much value there, and the price is a joke. Compare it to the value of those lessons and what you can get from them. I know it, people that have bought know it, and even some of you have written to tell me just that. ​ So, if you were hesitant, now it’s the moment. Tomorrow, it will be also a great moment. You’ll just be paying more.

These days, I usually panic a little. Just a little. Not because of the “social commitments.” And not because of the alcohol… which, let’s be honest, doesn’t do your health any good whether it’s “only one,” “only two,” December or June. No. It’s something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. Queueing. For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointment…...
A nice thing of brining my son to daycare and this being in the same building than the main NZ infrastructure agencies is that you meet lots of people. From the doors to the elevator, people having coffee, hanging out in the sofas, etc. Suddenly a “hey, Vicente”, and then… Some free consultation. Well… not as free, as the coffee is excellent, I always order one. “On me”. The usual suspects are: How can ensure competitive tension? How can I deal with claims? How can I prevent claims? How many...
I’ve been closing some insurance policies these days. For myself. Health, life, mortgage, etc. You don’t appreciate enough a good broker until you get one. If you’re serious about investing, this is your second more important broker after your mortgage broker. But I don’t want to talk to you about personal insurance. But PPP insurance. It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...
